Blood moons occur during total lunar eclipses, when the Earth lines up between the Moon and the Sun, casting the Moon in near shadow. The only light that then hits our celestial satellite’s surface arrives from the edges of the our atmosphere. The remaining light reflects an eerie red glow onto the Blood Moon’s surface – a phenomena that some believe heralds the end of times.

On Monday, January 21 a Blood Moon coincides with a Supermoon – making it a Super Blood Moon.

And controversial American Pastor Begley believes key Biblical passages confirm this Super Blood Moon means the end of the world is nigh.

One such “warning” is cited from the Book of Joel 2:31.

The passage reads: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.”

The spokesperson added: “During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon usually turns a deep, dark red because it is illuminated by light that has passed through the Earth’s atmosphere and has been bent back towards the Moon by refraction.”
